Too Free To Live
you got your pretty little black dress on.
let's dance until we see the dawn.
hold me like a smoking gun.
if we die we'll still be young.
fire in our eyes - burning down the night.
won't worry 'bout tomorrow 'til the morning light.
baby, hold on tight.
I can still get get higher when i look in your eyes.
I can feel hell burning in the fire in your heart.
we can run all night, dear. we're too young to quit.
we can run and hide from all the things we'll never miss.
we can take this night dear - stolen like a kiss.
we can't fight it - we're too free to live like this.
you got a pretty little 38.
i hope it keeps us from an early grave.
'cos they're coming for us any day.
we always knew we'd have to pay.
running for our lives. murder was our crime.
we'll worry 'bout tomorrow if we last tonight.
just stay out of sight.
i can still remember that fear in his eyes.
i can feel hell burning in that fire in my heart
let's run all night, dear, trying to forget.
we can run and hide from a fate we're never gonna' slip.
we can take this night dear - stolen like a kiss.
we can't fight it - we're too free to live like this.
we can run all night, dear - trying to forget.
we can run and hide from a fate we're never gonna' slip.
we can run all night, dear - trying to forget.
we can run and hide from a fate we're never gonna' slip.
we can take this night dear - stolen like a kiss.
we can't fight it - we're too free to live.
we can't fight it - we're too free to live.
we can't fight it - we're too free to live.
